BJP values its workers: CM

Newly appointed state BJP president Om Prakash Dhankar assumed charge at the party’s state headquarters here on Thursday. Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said the BJP was a democratic party, in which a worker from the grassroot could occupy the topmost position. “Unlike other parties where only dynastic rule prevails, BJP workers are given big responsibilities,” he said.

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, BJP in-charge for state affairs Anil Jain, former BJP state chief Subhash Barala, former minister Ram Bilas Sharma and several other senior party leaders were present at the function when the incident took place.

Rajvir of the district’s Kansala village, started raising slogans against administrative and police officials after severing his nerves. “I want to end my life as a cop has ruined my life,” said Rajvir when the media asked him the reason for taking his life.

On hearing the cries, police personnel on duty reached the spot and took Rajvir to the PGIMS. A suicide note was recovered from him, sources say. His condition was said to be stable.

Rajvir had made a similar attempt outside the SP’s office here a few months ago.

“He is mentally upset. He was booked eight months ago for attempting suicide,” said DSP Gorakhpal Singh.
